Chapter 3: The Little Fox Adding Fuel to the Fire
As Adele thought about this, her troubled mind gradually calmed down.
Moreover, compared to these matters, the reality she currently faced was equally important.
The first thing she felt was the cold throughout her body, a bone-chilling cold.
Too much of the blood element had been lost from her body.
Blood, for the Vampire Clan, was the source of magical power.
Her blood seemed to be especially sweet.
However, with Adele’s current body that had not yet awakened and advanced, the specific enhancement effects could not be manifested.
But even so, she had already won the favor of those “Sequence Ones”.
She became the fine wine they often wanted to savor and the sweet little cupcake they wanted to taste.
After all, she was just a mere Sequence Five, a mixed-blood… Heh.
Let alone being “sucked dry”.
Even if she disappeared from the academy tomorrow.
Would anyone even notice?
To be precise, no one dared to notice or investigate.
Adele’s gaze visibly dimmed.
Due to the coldness of her body, she unexpectedly turned around and embraced the blonde girl in front of her.
Wanting to draw warmth from her body.
However, she never expected this action to make Celeste’s body suddenly stiffen.
Celeste, a Sequence Two young lady from a wealthy family.
Although her family belonged to the long-lived race, they were not stubborn. They rode the wind of the new era, made big money in real estate and finance.
The kind that should be hanged from a lamppost.
But they would also be looked down upon by the pure-blooded Vampire Clan, thinking she was just a nouveau riche.
And upon entering the academy, any wealth or power no longer had any effect.
The only obvious class distinction was the difference in bloodline.
After all, the suppressive power of bloodline was not to be underestimated.
As descendants of the first batch of people who drank the holy blood and became the true ancestors of the first-generation Vampire Clan, they were undoubtedly the absolute Sequence Ones.
And the vampire nobles born through the First Embrace of the true ancestors were Sequence Twos.
In descending order, at the lowest end were the Sequence Fives, the most ordinary and powerless Vampire Clan.
And Adele’s situation was even more miserable than that.
She was…
A Sequence Five vampire, born as a Sequence Five mixed-blood from a relationship with a human.
Compared to the Sequence Ones, she was truly like the difference between clouds and mud, a dragon and an ant.
So in this academy that valued bloodline, who would help her?
And the original host was a girl who was stubborn to the core.
She never bowed her head, never resigned to her fate.
In this regard, she indeed had a bit of the heroine’s stance of “my fate is in my own hands, not the will of heaven”.
But it was precisely because of this that she was treated so cruelly…
The more Adele recalled, the more she felt a bone-chilling coldness in her heart.
Her body was shaking badly.
Her hands, as if clinging to a lifesaver while drowning.
Tightly hugging Celeste in front of her, the Celeste who had just humiliated her.
The light in her pink eyes trembled slightly, like the refraction of a crystal under sunlight.
“I’m sorry… Adele, I’m sorry!”
Celeste apologized sincerely.
She didn’t even dare to hug tightly, let alone exert any of her spiritual power as a Sequence Two.
For a moment, she felt that she had completely lost Adele…
Because of her mistake!
That’s why when she regained what she had lost, she appeared to cherish it so much.
So guilty.
Adele just remained silent, because she hadn’t yet figured out how to handle her relationship with Celeste.
Therefore, she let Celeste hold her.
Working hard to draw warmth from the body of the girl in front of her.
At the same time, feeling the fullness of her supple and ample bosom.
But in Celeste’s eyes, she seemed to be at the utmost point of sorrow and disappointment in herself.
In the original work, Celeste was a memorable villain female lead in the early stages, making the readers’ emotions complex.
As a Sequence Two, she didn’t belong to the Sequence One circle.
Naturally, she had no right to lay her hands on Adele, who was marked as a toy within their circle.
But she fell in love with Adele at first sight.
It wasn’t the kind of superficial feeling of just playing around, but she really liked Adele.
However, she was also sensitive and had an inferiority complex. After failing to confess to Adele, she actually became angry out of humiliation and forcibly drained her blood.
She even wanted to push her down and possess her.
Of course, the subsequent plot didn’t let her succeed.
The author didn’t want the book to be taken down and harmonized.
So the author arranged for Lady Hermione, a Sequence One in the academy, to arrive just in time.
She beat up Celeste and took Adele away from the locker room.
This laid the groundwork for Celeste’s future revenge against the Sequence Ones.
As a Sequence Two vampire, in the future plot, she even drank a powerful magic potion that severely damaged her body in order to snatch Adele back.
With the power erupting from this, she nearly killed a Sequence One!
Thinking of this, Adele narrowed her long and enchanting eyes, looking inexplicably cunning.
The phrase “bewitching gaze and seductive walk” seemed to be born just for her.
The original work specifically described Adele as being like a little fox, and also like a lone wolf.
Obviously, the author portrayed and described her lone wolf side very well.
But forgot that she could also be a cunning little fox, wandering among women~
Adele suddenly realized.
Perhaps she could use Celeste’s feelings for her.
Making her a blade that gleamed with cold light.
Or a mad dog.
It could be aimed at the Sequence Ones.
And it could be aimed at many people.
Calculating the time, it should be about time for Lady Hermione to come to the rescue.
Should she…
Add fuel to the fire?
At this thought, her eyes instantly became pitiful.
For the first time in her life, she called out the girl’s name.
Her voice, which hadn’t spoken for a long time, was hoarse and very weak.
Like a slushie, carrying a hint of coolness and sweetness.
“…Celeste.”
Adele was like a flower bud, battered and withered by the sudden rain, yet still vibrant.
Exuding an aura that evoked pity and love.
“I’m here… I’m here!”
Celeste responded eagerly, feeling the arms wrapped around her tighten a little more.
Although it was only a very weak force.
But this sense of “being needed” was moving.
“I’m so cold, next time… don’t be so rough, okay?”
Adele’s voice had a hint of trembling and grievance, her tone gentle and slow.
This further deepened Celeste’s guilt towards her.
And she said next time!
Celeste looked up abruptly as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
Catching a glimpse of a pair of timid, pitiful pink eyes, like a little animal.
Despite the fear, she was still looking at her.
Like seeing a ball of fire.
Perhaps thinking in her heart that as long as she didn’t get too close.
There should be no danger of being burned.
But Celeste was a fool.
She couldn’t stand the loneliness and had already reached out to Adele.
The flames pounced towards the person.
In the end, it hurt her too.
Her lips trembled, wanting to apologize.
Already unable to say anything other than an apology.
Wanting to get Adele’s forgiveness… begging her.
No matter what she asked her to do, she would.
Forgive her…
But before she could speak, Adele had already placed a finger vertically on her lips.
Gesturing for her not to speak.
“…”
She began to speak with difficulty, occasional coughs, as heart-wrenching as a cuckoo spitting blood.
“No need to apologize… maybe, I was also wrong.”
“Celeste, I didn’t look down on you, how could I, a Sequence Five… cough! dare to…”
“I didn’t want to communicate with you, only because I was afraid you would get implicated by me.”
“I was afraid they would start treating you roughly too…”
“I have no friends, nor do I dare to make any friends.”
“Originally, I thought there was a chance between us…”
Adele slowly closed her sorrowful eyes, the tears at the corners of her eyes glistening.
One could almost imagine.
At this moment in Adele’s heart, what kind of bitterness and suffering she was enduring.
It was only at this moment, hearing Adele’s explanation, that Celeste understood.
It turned out that she showed such a disgusted look only to discourage her.
It turned out that she silently cared about her in her heart.
It turned out… she had also thought about becoming friends with her.
But she herself…!
She who did such a thing to her…
What right did she have to stay by her side?
Celeste’s guilt flowed out from the bottom of her heart like a gushing spring.
Her tears also broke through.
Pain, so painful!
But at this moment, what Adele was thinking in her heart was.
—Hermione, where the hell are you!
Fortunately, the next moment, the door of the locker room was destroyed by magical power and pushed open roughly.
While letting out a long sigh of relief, Adele.
Suddenly pounced into Celeste’s arms in front of her.
Her little hands clinging to her chest, shoulders tightened.
Like a small animal frightened by a sound, a normal reaction.
Seeking a reliable existence.
Relying on her with all her heart and soul, seeking help.
Adele nestled in Celeste’s bosom, enjoying her temperature.
Panting slightly, her face flushed.
Looking as if they had just engaged in a strenuous activity.
